Once inside shelter how would they rescue you? Lead coated vans?
Would it be simplier just to evacuate yourself in a car and risk exposure?

Its been a long time since I did the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare course in the Army. But personally, if I was in a 'nuclear' attack, including a dirty bomb. I'd rather be sitting on the device when it went off, rather than suffer the horrible effects of Radiation Sickness.
IMHO, the chances of a dirty bomb being detonated by terrorists are incredably small. So why worry about it.
